has ranked all 50 states plus DC on the strength of their economies based on such factors as job growth, investment, income growth, population growth, education, percentage of people without health insurance, unemployment rates, number of new businesses established, etc. 

The top 5:

  1/  Washington State

  2/  Utah

  3/  Massachusetts

  4/  California

  5/  Colorado

I'm sure it is a mere coinscidensce that 4 of these states with more than 55 million people are blue while one with 3 million is red.

BTW:  GA came in at no. 9 and the great progressive state of AL was no. 38!...at least well ahead of 2 more red state bastions MS and LA at 49 and 50 respectively!
